Ok, so I have been using 2mg Suboxone off and on for a week and a half to try and soften the blow of coming off a heavy opiate habit. First time i took some, like an idiot i smashed some trying to chase a high. I read about precipitated withdrawals but figured since my last dose was a 24mg (low for me) shot of Dilaudid that morning, I would be ok given its short duration. Well i got some nasty effects off of that, right to the toilet, sweaty/cold etc.. So I managed to down some diphenhydramine and sleep it off.
Next morning i tried it again and just was not getting withdrawal relief after 2mg sublingually, and smashing another 1mg. I went out and scored some Morphine and Dilaudid, and went to town for 3-4 days. So yesterday was the 2nd time i tried it... Woke up, did the alcohol solubility thing posted here in another thread, felt shitty still, Smashed another 1mg, got terrible side effects again off that shot. After about 1/2 hr i took another 1mg sublingually and within 20 mins i noticed my aches going away and my runny nose stopping and i was content for once. I railed another .5mg and was good to go for the entire day. Finally!
So.. I found the sweet spot as far as suboxone, 5mg, but obviously I'm not really ready to quit. I'm a hopeless fucking junkie at this point I'm not really mentally ready to quit. I love to get high. So today I wake up and didn't want to take my dose cause I wanted to somehow get high today. Well a buddy came through with a 30mg Hydromorph Contin. I have it in my paws but I'm wondering if I should do it or not. I'm not really sick so I think the sub may still be working.
My dose for the last few shots of Dilaudid have been 45-60mg. Sick I know, thats not even an exaggeration. Does suboxone work to lower your tolerance? Or does it raise your tolerance?
Sorry I guess this post comes off more as a blog entry then anything just wondering what suboxone does for tolerance and If there's light at the end of this hopeless tunnel.
